Simple living in West Cornwall

Fuel

Today we had our second delivery of firewood from Looe-based Iglu to our little house in Penzance. They deliver across Cornwall and can be most accommodating when it comes to delivery. Crucially, the wood they sell is superb. It’s kiln dried ash, dry as a bone and is making our lounge nice and toasty as I type this.

Our first order was for four of their mini-bags which lasted us about 3 weeks (wood is our only fuel) and we thought that the wood was great. This time we decided to take the plunge and order enough wood to fill up our wood shed (and more), 65 bags in total. I wasn’t able to be around to help, so it’s great that their price includes a stacking service. Tehmina was luckily at home to show them where the wood needed to go, and they did the rest. Excellent service.

We are relieved to have finally found a supplier of firewood in Cornwall that we can stick with and rely upon. If you have no central heating and rely on wood for all of your heating, hot water and cooking, and it’s cold, you will know what I mean when I say that it’s a relief.

Another delivery of UK Heatlogs as we stock up on fuel for autumn and winter. 105 boxes arrived on a pallet which was set down between two parked cars on our street. In true Cornish fashion, it started raining as soon as I had signed off the delivery. A chain gang of friends helped us carry them inside where we piled them into every room downstairs. This weekend we will rearrange the shed outside and move them to a more sensible location!
